Beat writer Omar Kelly passes along speculation that the Dolphins could pursue free agent FS Darren Sharper once Antrel Rolle signs elsewhere.Kelly seems to believe the Dolphins are out of the running for Rolle. Sharper hasn't drawn interest in the initial free-agency wave, but he appears to be a fallback option for teams missing out on Rolle and Ryan Clark.Source: Omar Kelly on Twitter

Seeing how Mr. Clark is going to remain a Squeeler, I wouldn't mind bringing Sharper in for whatever money we were going to give Clark/Rolle. It might not be enough for him either. Even at 34 years of age, 71 tackles, 9 Ints and 3 TDs is getting it done. I'd love to get even 5 Ints and 1 TD out of the FS position this year. Sharper had 15 PD, and 376 yards of Int-return yardage. That's more than Fasano had receiving (339). You know what we had? 72 tackles, 8 PD, 0 Ints, 0 TDs.

As a fall back option??? Sharper had an incredible year last year and was a critical part of a defense that stepped up to help the Saints in the SB. How this guy isn't our first option is baffling.

Yeah, he's getting up there in age, but we don't have a starting FS for next year and the FA market is now looking thin. Drafting a FS means waiting a few years for it pan out, and we need someone for next year.
